We Have No Need For Voices When Our Hearts Can Sing

Perhaps the most musically varied of all their releases, WHNNFVWOHCS sees Big Eyes loosening their belts somewhat, with a collection of full-on chamber pieces, country mules, polkas and plainsongs. There are the precise baroque arrangements of 'Spidersong' and 'On Twigs', the American folk of ˜David's Lovesong' and 'At Claydon Point', the graceful string fugues of ˜Podsley's Lullaby' and ˜A Second Heavy Heart', and the atonal meanderings of 'Wash Me Upstream' and 'Drunken Ghost Dance'. The album also includes a collaboration with the multi-instrumentalist Terry Edwards (ex-Tindersticks, Gallon Drunk), in the form of 'Bugle Junior', on which he plays flugelhorns.
